Office Open XML file .docx cannot be opened

[CyberTaz]

Not knowing what version of Word (2007?... earlier version with converters?)
or which version of Windows (XP, Vista?) it's hard to offer specifics, but
have you tried the Open & Repair option?

Sounds like the xml parser is having some issues with something in
your document. Without any details, its hard to tell what it is. And
unless someone else can prove me wrong, the only solution is probably
unzipping the docx and hunting the issue down manually in
document.xml.

I have Win XP and am using Word 2007. I created the template using 03 and
had to recreate the template when we switched to 07. I have that template
saved and create documents based on that template. Once the document is
typed, saved, and closed this error comes up when I try to open the document.
We have been using this template for nearly a year without any problems. I
first experienced the problem and now other people in the office are getting
the same errors. I have the template organized in Word tables with form
fields that have macros in certain fields to check spelling. I am not sure
of the "open and repair" option. I am not prompted to do this and am not
familiar with it.
Thanks,
Aldon

Click open the template from within Word. Navigate to where your template is,
select it, and then click the arrow next to the open button at the bottom of
the dialog. Select open and repair. zyou might use open and repair on one
of the unopenable documents too

Thanks for that bit of information however the file still will not open. It
still provides me the same error.
